Part time Job Woes

[Permanent Temp]

I didn't know where to post this but I sort of need to vent/find out if I'm crazy. I informed my employer for my part time job days before hand that I was going to have a procedure on a day I was scheduled to work (there was no way around this for me). On that day of the procedure the doctor told me that I could not go into work for 3 days so they wrote me a note. I was in too much pain so I had my husband drop off the note to them. My husband told me that the manager told him and I didn't need a note and didn't even read it. I thought okay well whatever.
The next day I get a call from my work which I didn't notice until hours later. I called them back I ask them why they had called. They told me I was supposed to be into work that day. I told them I had dropped off the note. The manager corrected me told me that I my husband had dropped off the note. Then the manager told me that that manager didn't even read the note, that my husband didn't say anything and that I had to call in to inform them I wasn't coming.
I thought dropping off the note that it was the manager's responsibility to read these things notify people and take care of it. I'm not sure what I did wrong exactly. I have already had issues with this employer with things that I thought were common sense. And I am just stupid to assume that my responsibility was fulfilled the minute I notified them via the doctor's note that I was too weak to drop off? I'm trying to be flippant. I'm just not understanding what I did wrong.

Is there an Employee Manual? Check it to see what the rules are. Where I work, the manual covers very clearly and in detail what you must do if out sick. Where I work, every employee is sent a link to the Employee Manual and they must check off and confirm that they have read it before they can start work, but many later swear they have never seen it and don't know how to access it (it remains available for all employees with computer access 24/7). Amazing how many rush through such an important thing when starting a new job.

No there is no manual for that. There should be though. I would have been nice to know that there is no point in giving them doctor's notes. There is just one rule they said about being out 3 days in a row you need to bring in a doctor's note. So I did. I guess that's why I'm confused no one told me about calling just giving a doctor's note with the day's off needed.

Sounds like simple miscommunication. Or it could be that the manager at your company is so guided by company policy that he isn't given the freedom to actually think.

That made me chuckle. Yes it probably was some sort of miscommunication. Either way I walked in today to get the rest of my schedule and notified them about the work accommodations which they had also not read. Since I would need a chair near me because I cannot stand for long amounts of time they gave me the rest of the week off as he said he could not provide me with that accommodation. That also seemed wrong to me somehow but its almost a relief to not have to go in there for a whole week. Hopefully by then I will have recovered. For now I can just focus on my contract job.
